Leroy & Ziva love to go to the Pub with us - here are some of their favourites!

What is in a good Dog Friendly Pub/Restaurant?

As dog owners, we love to socialise our dogs out and about after a walk. Although Southport itself, does not offer a lot in the way of dog friendly establishments, there are a few around, and we have put together this list of pubs we have either visited or ones recommended on the Doggie Pubs app which you can download to your smart phone.

Some of these pubs we have not tried yet, as once we find a good one, we tend to return there.

You can also google dog friendly pubs and get a list to assist you.

The Sparrowhawk

Located on the Southport Old Road, Merseyside, L37 0AB - phone 01704 882350

This pub is Leroy & Ziva's favourite place to take us for lunch or dinner. "The drinking room" is set to the side with a lovely carpet and 4 tables and a huge roaring log fire. You can sit here if you reserve a table (and you will need to as it is very popular!) and are taking your dog with you. Otherwise you can sit in the bar.

Huge boneo biscuits (yum yum) and smaller treats are available for your dog on the bar. Water bowls are available too.

Great menu, a great selection of gins and also real ale on tap.

There are plenty of tables outside as well and fabulous grassy areas - overall it is just where a dog want's to go to relax.

And the staff are lovely there as well!!!!

The Cheshire Lines

Located in King Street, Southport. This older pub is great for drinks and cheap eats but beware they stop serving food very early in the evening. Dogs are welcome inside and outside, and they have a roaring fire in the winter inside.

This pub is within easy walking distance of the B & B and would be an ideal place to stop in for a spot of lunch or early dinner on the way back from a walk around Victoria Park.

The Ship Inn, Lathom

Located in Wheat Lane, Lathom, Ormskirk, L40 4BX - Phone 01704 892095

If you fancy a walk along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal followed by refreshments at a Pub, this place is great. A great garden for the summer pint!

Coal fires and hot food for cooler days.

Real Ale Pub - really can't be missed.

The Pheasant Inn

Great Place. Water and doggie treats provided. Dog friendly area inside is small and near the fire, so lovely in the winter, but booking would be advisable. Plently of tables outside for the summer pint and food in the sunshine.

The menu is varied and there is a good selection of drinks.

A great place to stop off on your way back from visiting Crosby Beach and the Anthony Gormley's Another Place as you can meander around the back roads back to Southport.

Ring-O-Bells Lathom

Serves good food and real ale and dogs are allowed in all places in the pub. They provide water for the dogs and even sell dog biscuits behind the bar.

The Hare & Hounds, Abbey Village

Bolton Road, Abbey Village, Chorley, PR6 8DP - Phone 01243 8830334

This is a fantastic dog friendly pub located right next to the Abbey Village and the Roddlesworth Reservoir walks. They have a carpark which is for patrons only, but if you park there and tell them you are returning for a drink/food they are more than happy.

Small but lovely outdoor area for the sunny days, and warm and welcoming inside on colder days.

The staff are dog lovers and the food served is a mixture of english and german food.

Whenever we walk here, this is always our place for refreshments and Mark & Slyvie are great publicans as well.

The Wagging Tail Hound and Human Cafe

62-64 Botanic Road, Churchdown, Southport, PR9 - Phone 01704 461148

Open 10am to 4.30pm (except Mondays) this cafe is located close to the Southport Botanic Gardens.

They specialize in beer and pup-cakes for the doggies as well as the usual human food.

Check them out on Facebook.

The Potting Shed, Lord Street, Southport

This is a modern establishment which has booths set up as potting sheds. The food is wholesome and reasonably priced and the staff very friendly. Dogs are also very welcome and receive some treats from the bar.

The Hesketh Arms, Churchdown

Great pub located in Churchdown Village. Paid parking next to pub, but refundable if you eat in the pub. Very dog friendly and great menu. Close walking distance to the Botanic Gardens as well.
